The Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI) on Saturday opposed the proposal for hike in high gas tariff and called for shelving any such plan that may hamper industrial activities.
LCCI President Sheikh Muhammad Arshad said that at the moment when industrial sector was coping with the challenge of energy deficit and increase in gas tariff would add to its problems. He said that the dream of economic growth could not come true without ensuring availability of cheap energy to the manufacturing sector and government should withdraw any decision to raise gas tariff immediately.
“Trade and industry is already in trouble because of delay in refund claims, high cost of doing business and withholding tax, thus increase in gas tariff will add their miseries,” the LCCI president said. He said that the high gas tariff would jack-up the cost of doing business manifold and oust the export-oriented industries from the international export market where Pakistani products already facing hard competition.
He said that even minor raise in the cost of production at this critical juncture would oust Pakistani merchandise from international export market and subsequently deprive the national exchequer of much-needed valuable foreign exchange to the tune of billions of dollars.

The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) on Tuesday increased system losses in gas tariff to over 7 per cent from 4.5pc for two utilities, involving an additional revenue impact of around Rs67 billion.
The decision to increase recovery of system losses through tariff was conveyed to the government in four separate but simultaneous determinations issued by Ogra for final revenue requirement for fiscal years 2012-13 and 2013-14.
In a policy departure, however, the determinations were kept away from the public eye against its customary placement on the Ogra website.
Also read: Gas tariff increased by up to 67pc
Ogra had not been able to approve revenue requirements for the two companies for the third year running now because of its non-completion of quorum.
Effectively, the four determinations together vindicated the position of former Ogra Chairman Tauqir Sadiq who had allowed 7pc system losses in revenue and was booked under corruption cases on the orders of the Supreme Court.
The difference this time, however, is that the regulator has increased the UFG benchmark after approval of the Economic Coordination Committee of the Cabinet (ECC) because of continuously increasing gas losses, now slated at 11-15pc for two gas companies.
The decisions would negatively impact the GDS payments to provinces for 2012-13 and increase gas tariffs with effect from January 2015 for all consumers.
According to determinations seen by Dawn, the regulator approved unaccounted for gas (UFG) to SNGPL for recovery from consumers at 4.5pc for 2012-13. This benchmark was not allowed to go up because of restraining court orders issued in case of SNGPL.

PWE criticises SNGPL for raising gas tariff to 47%. The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Friday criticised SNGPL for its effort to get gas tariff increased by 47 percent and asked OGRA to turn down the application. SNGPL is least concerned about plight of masses and the business community and all it want is increased profit to please influential shareholders, said Dr Murtaza Mughal, President PEW. OGRA should turn down the request as upward revision in price in the winter will hurt masses and bring down the industrial units using gas due to increased cost of doing business.

Petroleum and Natural Resources Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has labelled as corrupt the political leaders that criticise the liquefied natural gas (LNG) project and said he received big offers from the oil mafia for giving up gas import. Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has imported LNG at $7.5 to $7.7 per million British thermal units (mmbtu) whereas Japan has purchased LNG at $8 per mmbtu. Abbasi revealed that suppliers had quoted LNG at 11.2% to 17% of Brent crude price, but the gas was imported at a price below the 14% benchmark set by the government. “According to Nepra’s tariff, the electricity generated through LNG was cheaper by Rs6.5 per unit compared to that produced by diesel.”

Karachi is the only urban centre of the world that has no bus stop culture. This unique city in fact has no public transport policy. Its buses are not painted in official public transport colour. Their drivers wear no uniform. Their commuters are not issued bus tickets after charging fare from them. These buses run on cheap CNG but charge fare on the basis of diesel use. In this city taxis and rickshaws do not have any meters and they charge fare at their sweet will. This is the only city of the world where commuters also travel on the rooftops of minibuses. In this city, government officials – including traffic cops – are easily bribed as there is lack of government writ in this metropolis.

CNG CONSUMERS OF 3 PROVINCES BEAR ILLEGAL CHARGES SANS OFFICIAL ACTION. Govt’s inaction adds upto Rs6 per kg additional burden on consumers; Rs4.37b collected from masses illegally in 2.5 months; OGRA seeks PM’s advice for further action. Consumers of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) in many areas of Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhawa (KP) and Balochistan are currently being forced to bear an additional charge of upto Rs 6 per kilogram, while Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) has so far kept mum on this fleecing of cheap fuel’s consumers.
Documents available with Pakistan Observer disclosed that CNG consumers are continuously being charged with Rs6/kg illegally by CNG pumps in the province of Sindh, while they are additionally charged with Rs3.50/kg in Balochistan and KP provinces. OGRA is however conspicuously silent on the issue, despite passing of two and half months, on the issuing of notification of Gas Infrastructure Development Cess Act, while around Rs 4.37b has already been collected from the CNG consumers during last two and half months in the country.

CNG sector and Gas price: Hike in gas prices will devastate CNG industry: Chairman APCNGA. the Ogra and Ministry of Petroleum avoided rationalisation of CNG price mechanism for three years while the recent announcement regarding prices is illegal. Shuja Anwar said that Ogra is empowered to announce CNG prices twice a year on January 01 and July 01, therefore the notification of new prices stands illegitimate. He said that agents of oil sector are serving in the gas companies who have engineered the gas crisis which has taken economy as hostage. SNGPL would frequently announce changed prices of RLNG for CNG sector in Punjab which is illegal and against the norms of transparency.

Qatargas to assess Pakistan preparedness before signing long-term LNG deal. Amid hiccups in the finalisation of financial arrangements for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) imports, a management delegation of Qatargas (QG) is expected to visit Islamabad next week for assessment of on-ground situation before committing a long-term deal.
The finalisation of LNG supply chain has become all the more important given the fast approaching winter when domestic gas supplies would be facing extreme shortages because of surge in consumption levels in the residential sector.
Senior government officials told Dawn on Monday that a senior management team of the QG has volunteered a visit to Islamabad starting Aug 26. They have some other clients in waiting and want to have a fair assessment of Islamabad’s preparedness for a long-term deal, he said.
Pakistan, he said, had so far been unable to complete condition precedent for a long-term contract for import of LNG for 15 years.
